Good enuf Presenting is Not Good Enough
April 12th, 2012In today’s competitive environment, you need to be the best you can be. You may only have one chance to have an impact and get the results you need from a presentation. Yes it can be stressful, but let that stress drive the energy to practice and practice again – until you are so well rehearsed and confident that you look as if you are naturally a pro, and as if you don’t ever need to practice.
As for visuals – remember that your audience spends half their life in front of a screen of some size these days, you had better have some good looking visuals projected that assist in keeping your audiences attention and communicating important messages. I deal with presenters every day and yes, the stress level seems to be at an all time high – because the stakes are higher than ever. All the more reason to practice one more time and spend a few more hours tweaking the PowerPoint so it delivers and does not distract. Today “good enuf” is not good enough – you need to be the very BEST.
